There are two Grey Seal stories by Packard, a Craig Kennedy by Reeve, a Dr. Thorndyke by Freeman, 3 Cleek stories by Hanshew, a Sax Rohmer, 3 stories by R.T.M.

  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #22 [WS16]
    REHeapa Winter Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON Few fiction authors are as a widely published internationally as Robert E. Howard (e.g., in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian). As former REHupan Vern Clark states: Robert E. Howard has long been one of America’s stalwarts of Fantasy Fiction overseas, with extensive translations of his fiction & poetry, and an ever mushrooming distribution via foreign graphic story markets dating back to the original REH paperback boom of the late 1960’s. This steadily increasing presence has followed the growing stylistic and market influence of American fantasy abroad dating from the initial translations of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham House collections in Spain, France, and Germany. The growth of the HPL cult abroad has boded well for other American exports of the Weird Tales school, and with the exception of the Lovecraft Mythos, the fantasy fiction of REH has proved the most popular, becoming an international literary phenomenon with translations and critical publications in Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Japan, and elsewhere. [1] All this shows how appealing REH’s exciting fantasy is across cultures, despite inevitable losses in stylistic impact through translations. Even so, there is sometimes enough enthusiasm among readers to generate fandom activities and publications. We have already covered those in France. [2] Now let’s take a look at some other countries. GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND SWITZERLAND The first Howard stories published in German were in the fanzines Pioneer #25 and Lands of Wonder ‒ Pioneer #26 (Austratopia, Vienna) in 1968 and Pioneer of Wonder #28 (Follow, Passau, Germany) in 1969.

  • The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

    REHeapa Autumnal Equinox 2017 THE RISE OF THE NEW HYBORIAN LEGION, PART TWO By Lee A. Breakiron As we saw last time, the Robert E. Howard United Press Association (REHupa) was the first amateur press association (apa) dedicated to that author. Its founder, Tim C. Marion, started it in 1972 when he was 13 and edited it through the first 19 of its bimonthly Mailings, but left afterward since he was ultimately more interested in fan activities than Howard as a literary figure. Before that, discontent with his leadership and with the real dearth of worthwhile essays and critiques during the early years led to future literary critic Don Herron and others to leave and create The Hyperborian League (THL) apa in October, 1975. Its official editor (OE) was Herron and it was “devoted to the creative discussion of authors Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard and their works,” though material on other fantasy writers and poets was welcomed. Herron said he spelled the name of the apa “Hyperborian” rather than “Hyperborean” because he wanted to emphasize the fact that it was devoted to both CAS (whence Hyperborean) and REH (whence Hyborian). It would still be occasionally misspelled, even on covers. Its official organ document was titled “Skull & Sandalwood,” suggested by REH’s “Skull-Face” and CAS’s Sandalwood. The fanzines composing the quarterly Mailings were at first stapled by the contributors and left so by the OE, who collected them and mailed them out to the current individual members. He also distributed some copies to libraries, sent “speculative” (“spec”) copies to recruit prospective members, and sold remaining ones to defray postage costs.

  • Conan Scenario Editor
    5 Dread Horror on the High Seas After having spent the last of their ill-gotten gains from a rich but unfortunate merchant vessel, the Tigress got caught in a severe storm. But thanks to the skill of the heroes and the hardy crew of the Tigress, they survived Nature's fury. Now, with the seas calm once more, the lookout spots another ship. It appears to have taken severe damage from the storm, lying dead in the water. An easy target for the experienced pirates of the Tigress. Checking equipment and preparing to board, they maneuver the Tigress alongside the other ship. Suddenly a shudder runs through the hull. The crew looks around nervously, and then several enormous tentacles erupt from the sea as from an octopus of truly staggering proportions! Crewmen are picked up and pulled screaming to their deaths below the suddenly frothing waters. And as a laughter as cold and terrible as the crushing depths rolls in from the other vessel, foul sorcery reaches out with its claws of pestilence. Those of the crew of the Tigress it touches are transformed into mindless monstrosities bent on killing the heroes! Conan, Bêlit, Hadrathus and Shevatas will have to act quickly to kill the sorcerer controlling the tentacled horror from the dark waters below, and prevent the monster from tearing the Tigress apart, killing them all! Objectives To win the game, the Heroes must ki ll Skuthus, get all surviving heroes after Skuthus is dead back to the Tigress, and get the number of tentacles adjacent to the Tigress down to 2.

  • Conan the Invincible by Robert Jordan Chapter I
    Conan the Invincible By Robert Jordan Chapter I The icy wind whipping through the brown, sheer-walled chasms of the Kezankian Mountains seemed colder still around the bleak stone fortress that grew from the granite flank of a nameless mountain in the heart of the range. Fierce hillmen who feared nothing rode miles out of their way to go around that dark bastion, and made the sign of the horns to ward off evil at its mention. Amanar the Necromancer made his way down a dim corridor that violated the very heartstone of the mountain, followed by those no longer human. He was slender, this thaumaturge, and darkly handsome, his black heard cropped close; but a vaguely serpentlike streak of white meandered through his short hair, and the red flecks that danced in his eyes drew the gaze, and the will, of anyone foolish enough to look deeply. His henchmen looked like ordinary men, at first glance and from a distance, but their faces were vaguely pointed, their eyes glinted red beneath ridged helmets, and their skins bore reptilian scales. The fingers of the elongated hands that held their spears ended not in nails, but in claws. A curved tulwar swung at the hip of every one except for hire who marched close behind Amanar. Sitha, Warden of the S'tarra, Amanar's Saurian henchman, bore a great doubleedged ax. They came to tall doors set in the stone, both doors and stone carved with serpents in endless arabesques. "Sitha," Amanar said, and passed through the doors without pausing. The reptiloid warden followed close behind, closing the massive doors after his master, but Amanar barely noticed.

    REHEAPA Vernal Equinox 2014 By Lee A. Breakiron A CIMMERIAN WORTHY OF THE NAME, PART THREE During his crusade to revitalize Robert E. Howard fanzines with his The Cimmerian, Leo Grin not only initiated a blog, as we saw last time, but also started publishing a new chapbook series called The Cimmerian Library. They were in the same format as the TC journal issues, but had reddish copper covers in a run of 100 copies for $15.00 each. He issued four titles (“volumes”): REHupan Rob Roehm’s An Index to Cromlech and The Dark Man (2005), REHupan Chris Gruber’s “Them’s Fightin’ Words”: Robert E. Howard on Boxing (2006) citing all of Howard’s quotations on the manly sport from his correspondence, with an introduction and index; John D. Haefele’s A Bibliography of Books and Articles Written by August W. Derleth Concerning Derleth and the Weird Tale and Arkham House Publishing (2006) with one “Addenda” [sic] (2008); and Don Herron’s “Yours for Faster Hippos”: Thirty Years of “Conan vs. Conantics” (2007) containing his pivotal critique of REH pasticheurs, especially L. Sprague de Camp, as well as some personal commentary on it and on Bran Mak Morn, Karl Edward Wagner, and Bruce Lee. And to properly celebrate the Centennial of Howard’s birth, as well as the 70th anniversary of his death, the 60th year since the publication of the landmark Arkham House volume Skull-Face and Others, and the 20th year since the first pilgrimage of REHupans to Cross Plains, Texas, Grin wondered what he could “do to make it extra special, to truly convey the respect and admiration I have for the man and his writings?” (Vol.

    REHeapa Summer Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron LET THERE BE UPDATES The Howard Collector Glenn Lord published 18 issues of his ground-breaking REH fanzine between 1961 and 1973, which we reviewed before. [1] He put out a 19th number (Vol. 4, #1) in summer, 2011, in the same 5 ½ x 8 ¾ format with light gray textured softcovers and 52 pages for $20.00. The volume contains the original version of “Black Canaan” (first published in 2010 by the Robert E. Howard Foundation), an untitled verse, an untitled Breckinridge Elkins fragment, and a drawing, all by Howard from Lord’s collection. Critic Fred Blosser contributes reviews of Steve Harrison’s Casebook and Tales of Weird Menace, both edited by REHupan Rob Roehm and published in 2011 by the Foundation, as well as El Borak and Other Desert Adventures (2010) and Sword Woman and Other Historical Adventures (2011), both edited by REHupan Rusty Burke and published by Del Rey. Blosser observes that the detective-type stories in the first two books tend to be better the more REH concentrates on action and weirdness rather than sleuthing. Blosser thinks highly of the last two, but wishes that Burke had not corrected Howard’s French spellings. THC #19 won Lord the 2012 Robert E. Howard Foundation (“Aquilonian”) Award for Outstanding Periodical. [2] A projected 20th issue, to include the original version of “Crowd-Horror,” was never published (“Crowd- Horror” would be published in 2013 in The Collected Boxing Fiction of Robert E. Howard: Fists of Iron), since Lord died of a heart attack December 31, 2011 at age 80.
